Answer

Bohr 's concept of electrons orbiting the nucleus suits with the gravitational concept of how bits of matter are placed in space and are drawn to each other. The discreet nature of the energy released by atoms that switch energy levels also supports the idea of multiple discrete orbits around the nucleus. We understand the quantum essence of electrons-they do not behave like large size particles.
